Don Lemon’s arrest is the start of a predictable next phase of their unfolding plan of attack. And very likely just the start of opening a new front for Trump’s war on the media, the truth and our democracy. 🎧 @indyamericans.bsky.social podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

The irony here is that a parent could lose custody or even be arrested for leaving their child like this in a car

Part of the problem with Trump’s deportation goons is that they believe the lies he and his senior officials have spouted about ICE protesters. Here’s a particularly embarrassing episode featuring a suburban police chief near St. Paul. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

Hit the streets with us TOMORROW to speak up for those who have been silenced. Let’s bring the noise to their doorstep and make sure we’re heard. Tomorrow, stand in solidarity with Minnesota by finding a local protest near you through the ICE Out of Everywhere link in our bio.

Between seizing ballots in Georgia, trying to leverage Minnesota to turn over its sensitive voter data, and political prosecutions, the DOJ is laying the groundwork to subvert the 2026 elections. I created Democracy Docket for times like this. Help it grow by supporting it now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The anti-ICE/CBP rally in Chicago's Daley Plaza has grown significantly in just the last half hour. The crowd is spilling out into street; I'd say there's over a thousand people here at this point.

1/ The Epstein file release distills a central problem: Hideous allegations against a GOP president are being handled by mainstream news orgs with care, as they should be. But if it were flipped and the allegations were against a Dem president, right-wing media would go wild - zero restraint.

No arrests of the ICE thugs who murdered Alex Pretti, Renee Good, or Keith Porter. No arrests of anyone in the Epstein Files. But they arrested Don Lemon because of his journalism.

Remember: “They’re eating your pets.” ~ Donald Trump Now, Springfield, Ohio is bracing for an ICE surge targeting an estimated 12K - to 15K Haitian immigrants. Don’t expect much pushback from Governor DeWine.

Breaking MS NOW: The Trump admin is now eyeing Ohio for immigration enforcement operations that could begin as early as next week. The operation is expected to target Haitian immigrants — with temporary protected status for Haiti expiring on Feb. 3.

It's true, for the first time in 25 years, child mortality rates for preventable diseases are projected to increase, after having declined for 25 years. It's an absolutely terrible time to have an unhinged, anti-vax conspiracy theorist in charge of our public health policy. #ResistTrump

so a LOT of what's been released are anonymous reports and with a case this famous you are gonna get some nuts sending in nonsense. but the repeated references to Robin Leach, Trump and Epstein at the Rancho Palos Verdes golf club make it pretty clear a bunch went on there involving those people.

Q: Where the guns? Are they in the FBI's possession? And who has the phone that Pretti used to film? BLANCHE: I don't know. I don't have answers to those questions Q: Wouldn't that be something the FBI would need to conduct a thorough investigation? BLANCHE: I was simply saying I don't know

Brutal column in the Kansas City Star about a local real estate company trying to avoid public scrutiny for selling ICE a property for a massive prison camp: www.kansascity.com/opinion/arti...

👀 Every Senate Democrat + Collins and Murkowski just voted for the Bernie Sanders amendment to repeal the $75 billion in additional ICE funding under Trump’s “big beautiful bill.” The measure failed 49-51.

If I were a blue state governor, I’d be looking into adding a bunch of tenure lines at my state schools. I know that seems like “kick ‘em when they’re down,” but it’s more like “let academics who can escape to where they can do real work.” Builds up your own schools AND protect US academic output.

Hell, yeah. “I’ve got white skin, so I’m using my privilege to speak for my friends and neighbors. We’re telling them to stay home and stay safe, and we’re coming out and fighting for them.”

THEY DID IT. EVERY SENATE DEMOCRAT just voted on an amendment to DEFUND ICE (rescind the BBB slush fund that keeps ICE open during a shutdown.) This amendment failed, but it shows broad support! KEEP CALLING and make it a demand to vote for the DHS funding bill!!

Leading American companies — including Palantir, Deloitte, and private prison giant GEO Group — raked in over $22B from ICE and CBP contracts last year. Do not forget who is profiting from cruelty and human suffering.

It makes you sound crazy to say this out loud, but it's becoming increasingly clear that the United States government has been effectively toppled by a group of overt pedophiles

They're seizing ballots. Raiding homes without warrants. Gunning down protestors in the streets. And now, arresting journalists. They’re coming for our freedoms. America, stand up while you still can.

The people of Minnesota are fierce. So much respect.

A sad day at NIH... The NIH Record was a great way for NIH folks to find out what was going on across NIH. Many important stories published there over the years. nihrecord.nih.gov/2026/01/30/n...

We can honor Catherine O'Hara through buying, renting, and streaming her filmography over the next few days, so that the revenue is more than the box office receipts for "Melania" on opening weeken--oh, excuse me... [puts finger to ear] ...okay, yes, I'm being told that's already happened.

MELANIA

When does Trump send Pam Bondi a 2AM text ordering her to arrest Bruce Springsteen?

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

“Some Trump advisers and federal appointees tell Zeteo that they personally view the chances of a conviction in this case as unlikely. The reason these types of federal charges, arrests, and investigations by Team Trump will continue is to keep everybody thinking twice about…

I hate Bovino but there's an honesty to his little Nazi outfits totally absent in Homan, with his reasonable tone and reading glasses. Lies don't become more true when you say them in a calm tone

Not that anyone asked me but, yes, Warsh is obviously an unqualified hack. In terms of the impact he could have on policy, however, there aren't enough Trump appointees on the current FOMC for the commitee to be pursuaded by Chairman Warsh on policy. paulkrugman.substack.com/p/a-bad-heir...

One of the greatest strengths of our nation is the public education system, which by law is open to every student who walks in the door. ICE is directly harming our schools and the students and families they serve. So I'm joining students to speak up. open.substack.com/pub/matthewa...

Since last year, we’ve been reporting on ICE extensively. But every week brings new information, and it’s getting harder to keep track of what’s happening, let alone remember what’s already happened. So here’s a quick thread to help.

Are there good people in both parties? #alpolitics #alabama #republicans #democrats

Lindsey is embarrassing us all. It’s time for change, South Carolina.

Both Pam Bondi and Harmeet Dhillon, who seems to be leading this charge, should be subject to disciplinary action from their state bars. Wildly unethical behavior that violates their duties as lawyers.

This is about forcing Don Lemon to spend money and time defending himself. "“They probably don’t have any expectation that this prosecution will stick," legal expert tells me. "But they do know they will put Don Lemon through the grinder in the meantime." newrepublic.com/article/2059...

Update: All three have bailed on this appearance. No Noem, no Bondi, no Gabbard. Once again when these folks need to deliver substance, evidence, to a smart audience...they don't have the goods.

Not to self-aggrandize, but with the exception of the handful of reporters still esconced in cushy staff jobs, every political journalist is doing it for the love of the game. The hours are shit, the pay is shit, the work is shit And Trump thinks arresting us is gonna stop us? Is the food free?

Good to see --> Reps Eric Swalwell and Dan Goldman just introduced their bill stripping ICE agents of qualified immunity. We broke the news that this was coming on our podcast (see thread below for more info and context).

Lawyer for Epstein Survivors: It's consistent with what we've been seeing from the Department of Justice for quite some time now. It's an incompetent coverup. They're trying to cover up documents, to withhold documents, to keep things from the public, but worse, they're not good at it.

@maxkozlov.bsky.social @jocelynkaiser.bsky.social I just sent this to Director Bhattacharya. Let me know if you think of anything else I can do to help.

Salazar has warned about this ever since we saw massive reversions among Latinos in 2025, particularly in New Jersey and in Miami. The issue is that Republicans don't even want to support her Dignity Act, which doesn't even give a path to citizenship. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

"Bondi is a buffoon for sending this letter, but it represents nothing less than a complete fracturing of federalism. The administration is saying in no uncertain terms that it will rain violence, financial deprivation, and sham investigations on a state unless it does what Trump wants."

Funny how the party who claims we can’t define the word “woman” has trouble with the word “child”.

the full headline is even better
